The come back !

Hello.

Just few words to let you know that my trip to Podemus was a really bad idea, and that this bad experience gave me a lesson.

So, I will continue to give some times some mp3 here, but I created since then another blog, and so you have the opportunity to listen to cool stuff on this adress :

Enjoy !

 

Changement de Blog

Hello.

Thank you to update your bookmarks right now and to visit me as soon as today.

John Felice from the Real Kids !

Souvenir from this great album, and this cool singer :

Ain't we having fun

(from Nothing pretty, New Rose, 1988)

See the fans site for complete infos. 

It's Arctic time !

Enjoy a cool moment in gaule's capital some months ago.

 

I'm frank

I'm Frank, but he's frank too.

That's one of my best punk-pop single of all time. The B side "Alphaville" is very good too.

Enjoy it right now, before Us, punk rockband cover it ! 

He's frank, Monochrome set (from their 1st single, 1977 Rough trade)

It's makin it !!

Yesterday, I was sad, and I put this greaaat record on my turntable. 

Yeah.. fuzz and then, psyche at his best. (Listen to Underground railroad, and You don't give me no more ...)

See this superb web site for other sixties punk bands of that kind, plus an interview about Fred Cole (Lollipop Shoppe and Dead Moon). Yes, the band behind the nugget's hit "You must be a witch"

That's killer baby !

It's makin it by the Lollipop Shope (From Just colour lp 1968)

and for the whole lp, get it here 

 

The Clique are Unfair !

The Cique is a band name very used in pop music, as you can read it on Wikipedia
Now, listen to the differences :

Unfair, by the Clique (60's mod uk band) (Pye, then Dig the fuzz)

Superman, by the Clique (US) (Whale Records)

Early days ep by the Clique (90’s uk mod band) (Detour Records)

 

Rocksteady with B Soul All stars !

Si vous aimez le rocksteady, ce style jamaicain alliant soul 60's des US avec le déhanchement local des îles, vous aimerez ce que font les B Soul All Stars de Benny et sa petite famille. (*)

Originaires de Chambéry, ces frenchies, amis de longue date font ce qu'ils aiment et ça s'entend.

Sur leur premier album paru cette année, je retiens tout particulièrement ce "Ali baba", de John Holt, trop onctueux. Mais sont disponibles actuellement aussi deux singles excellents : un sur Larsen, le label maison , et un sur l'autre label rennais Jewels (tribute to John Holt)

...Pour les soirées entre amis évidemment !

Ali baba, by B Soul All Stars. (lp "Rock Steady with", Larsen 2006)

(*) Les B Soul All Stars font suite au Teen Axel Soul Arkestra, sauf que là, il y toute la famille.

Direct me ! (right through your heart)

One of the best album of the icon.

Yes. Otis was already dead when this great album went out. But Steve Cropper, the guitarist behind the sound of all the precedent albums and these of Stax Records was there and produced the whole thing.

So listen to this great guitar, and this bass. Otis never sounded so great.

I must admit I cry when I listen to this.

 

Direct me, (from "Love man") Otis redding (1967) Atco. 

 

Rat pfink, I am you !

For all of you who have been at the 40's birthday of my friend Philippe, some weeks ago, perhaps you remember (yes, I'm sure you do) I was costumed on...

Rat Pfink !!

Yes, this strange music-hero  had really existed and it was on 1966. Ron Haydock, the man behind the mask sung a Rat fink theme.

Here it goes :

Rat fink, by Ron Haydock and the Boppers. (Norton)
